Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, 655-657 Capp Street is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently undergoing significant transformation. The most substantial recent development is the permitted $2.5 million project from 2015, which involves converting the existing 3-story building into a 4-story structure with 9 dwelling units, including ground floor parking for 2 cars and an accessible van. This ambitious project includes comprehensive updates to interior and exterior walls, floors, windows, doors, and building systems, with the existing structure being moved horizontally to align with new front setback requirements.

The building's history reveals notable concerns from the late 1990s and early 2000s, primarily regarding safety features and utility issues. Multiple violations were recorded in 2002 concerning stairs and handrails, while utility problems emerged in 1999 with complaints about shared electric meters between units. Earlier complaints in the 1994-1995 period highlighted various maintenance issues including heating problems, plumbing concerns, and safety features. The building underwent routine housing inspections in 2009 and 2010, though these were not associated with specific violations. More recent records from 2020-2024 show several 311 calls related to general street cleaning and maintenance issues around the property, with the most recent being a garbage and debris complaint in November 2024. A missing side sewer vent cover was reported and resolved in October 2022. The current major renovation project, which is under review or in various approved statuses in planning records, represents the most significant building modification in decades and includes provisions for modern amenities such as parking and additional dwelling units.

Risk rating

How 655-657 Capp St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
